Re: Fwd: Migration, export & import using Exp2

 

I think this is a splendid decision. Git is far more popular and in the long
run that should aid adoption. 

 

Phillip, does git and bzr play nice together? Are you able to keep bzr for
all the old/existing site and just bring new code into git? Or have you had
to migrate?

Yes Github. I hadn't made any announcements yet because we're still getting
this together. A lot of our development processes here at OIC were based on
BZR, and it's just not the solution that Git is on many levels, like speed
and stability and community adoption. I really just don't like the way
launchpad works. I find it unintuitive and clunky, and think it was a poor
choice in hindsight. Our development processes at OIC are now based highly
on the use of git.

 

Since I commit 98% of the code to Exponent 2.0, and since I needed to make a
decision that will both benefit OIC and Exponent long term, I've been
getting us set up on Github. This wasn't announced because I wanted to make
sure it was going to suite the community, and OIC's needs first. I think it
will, especially for those who don't want to install Git, they can download
the latest source right from the site.

 

So sorry for the lack of notice on this. It'll all come together very soon!

 

And Dave, learning Git was much easier for me after learning bzr :)

github?  Is the recent stuff on launchpad as well?  I'm confused I thought
that Launchpad was going to be the common VCS.

 

I do a periodic pull from Launchpad to play around with the latest version.
Am I getting the most recent stuff now?

 

Was there a memo I missed?

Hi Sanna,

 

As of PR2, the migration stuff wasn't working that well. I've since fix a
good chunk of stuff, and most modules will migrate, but not nearly all.

 

Get more up to date code here:

https://github.com/exponentcms/exponent-cms

 

John also wrote a good doc on migration. It's attached.

 

 

 

Hope this helps!

Phillip

Hi again, 

 

I do not know if it is due to the migration or what but every single module
says like this when trying to edit:

"The view you are trying to use was not found for this module"

 

I have looked both under framework and modules and the views are there. It
doesn't matter if I'm overriding the view with the custom theme or not, the
same error comes. I put the developer to the setting 1 and also 2 but so far
no extra notifications or errors from that coming up.

 

It does finds the stylesheets after replacing the old one I had with the one
from the retrotheme like "expTheme::head(array..."

 

So, summary: maybe the migration brought the content as well but I can't
just see it because no single view works on the site?

 

BR, Sanna

Subject: Migration, export & import using Exp2

 

Hi all,

we have always used the Exp in a way that we built one working site in a
test server and then when that has been ready with the content, we export
all that content and import it to an installation that is on the final
server.

Also different language version we have managed in a way that we take a copy
of one language and import the whole content for another and the translator
can do his/her job on the real site directly.

Now happily using new migration and getting it connecting to the previous
server without any problems we got migrated page names and then modules that
are indeed empty. Where is the content? Can't I import that as well? Or is
there some other tool for that? This is quite important for the effiency,
time schedules and budgets of the projects.

Let me know if there are new ways! May be I'm too focused to look how it
used to work.

Kind regards,

Sanna
